Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1 cup ricotta cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 garlic clove, minced

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1 egg (for egg wash)

Olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated and creamy.

      On a clean, flat surface, unroll the crescent roll dough. Press the seams together firmly to form a cohesive rectangle, ensuring there are no gaps.

        Evenly spread the spinach and cheese mixture over the dough, leaving approximately a ½-inch border along the edges to prevent spillage during rolling.

          Starting at one of the long edges, begin to carefully roll the dough into a tight log shape. Once rolled, pinch the seams well to seal the log securely.

            Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 1-inch spirals. Place each spiral cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart for even baking.

              In a small bowl, beat the egg until smooth. Brush the egg wash generously over the tops of each spiral to achieve a beautiful golden color as they bake. For an extra touch of flavor, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each spiral.

                Bake the spirals in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.

                  Once baked, remove the spirals from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm and enjoy your scrumptious Spinach Ricotta Crescent Roll Spirals!
